So after a long and buisy 6 weeks, I have finally got my rig up and running. The plan was just to re do the loop ion a new case ( a comp win ) with all the old hardware, but due to another lucky win ( An Amazon voucher for a £1000 ) I was able to upgrade to haswell. She has been up and running in for 4 days now, on W8 ( that I actually like )

Thanks guys, the Amazon win was just a pure fluke. I was caring for my elderly nan who has parkinsons whilst my granddad was in hospital, and I went into a local shop and they had a parkinsons raffle going on, so I bought a ticket, and 2 weeks later bam I won, and the case was from another forums monthly draw. It's the only luck I have ever had in my life, I guess it's true what they say do good things and good things happen.

As far as fans, I have 6 140's on the front rad 6 120's on the top and a rear 140 intake so that makes 13. They are all running at 7v, I'm idleing at around 30, and under 45 mins of prime it has not gone over 59. that's with my cpu running at 4.2 @ 1.050v
